Organizers led by Er. Nagendranath Mohapatra, Hon. Adviser, Indian Institute of Sustainable Development, called upon the general public of Orissa to observe Earth Hour 2010 by switching off electricity in their houses and offices from 8.30 to 9.30 in the evening on March 27 as a mark on solidarity with the word community in the noble cause of environmental well being of Mother Earth.
Stressing on the importance of Earth Hour in a Press conference, the organizers also hoped that the state government should come forward to link Orissa administration to this noble global cause.
